.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Monday night)
Issued at 1255 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026

Subtropical ridging remains in control over west Texas/eastern NM
for the start of the upcoming week. Temperatures will climb
further on Monday, with highs back in the upper 90s for most
locations as a slow and steady climb back to widespread triple
digits is expected through the upcoming week. There may be a slim
shot a few showers over the Coastal Plains the next couple
evenings, but for now, have opted to keep PoPs out of the forecast
as confidence in this is quite low.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 1255 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026

Tuesday through Friday will feature a strengthening Subtropical
ridging over the Texas Panhandle, with south central Texas on the
southern edge. This will result in continued hot and dry weather
through the final week of July. Temperatures will steadily climb
into the 100-105 range by late week, and there is the potential
for heat related products by that time. The pattern may start to
break down by next weekend, with ridging sliding further west
towards the Four Corners. This may open the door for northerly
flow which could result in increased rain chances. For now, the
forecast remains hot and dry.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1211 PM CDT Sun Jul 26 2026

VFR conditions under mostly clear skies are expected to prevail
through the period. MVFR ceilings appear less likely tonight with
HREF guidance indicating only a 30 percent chance for redevelopment
over the I-35 corridor. While the low levels should be slightly
drier than previous nights, there still could be enough moisture for
some clouds by Monday morning and opted to include a SCT deck at
AUS/SAT/SSF. DRT remains VFR.
